Involvement Creates Commitment
Involvement creates
commitment. Get involved with all facets
of your job. Your level of job
satisfaction will rise, and your understanding of the overall aspects of your
career will allow you more latitude to effect change. Continually learn and strive to be the best
that you can with regard to your job knowledge.
Also, active participation with your co-workers, demonstrates that you
are a team player. Additionally, if you
work like you own the company, your job will more often than not provide you at
least some of the security you seek as an employee of a successful
operation.
If you feel you are not
empowered to work like you own the company, test that assumption. You will be surprised how much you can do
both as an individual and with your coworkers without having to ask. If you have an innovative idea, work it. If you see a problem, try to fix it. If you come in contact with an unhappy
customer, help them. Claiming pride of
ownership is not hard, in fact, it is quite simple – just do it!
Committed and involved
leadership is a critical factor in organizational performance. You can’t yell, “Charge” from the executive
suite and expect the troops to go and take the hill. A coach is right on the sideline yelling words
of encouragement. The coach is not in
the thick of the game, but is close enough to smell the sweat, see the blood,
and feel the emotion of the players. The
committed leader/coach is continually involved in the fast-paced decisions,
which are required to meet the ever-changing needs of the organization and its
people. As a leader, you must eat,
breathe and sleep the vision of winning…that’s commitment!
The same holds true for
the business team member (employee).
They too must be committed to winning.
The team must take seriously the challenge the organization faces;
therefore, they must provide constructive input continually. After all, who is better equipped to make
recommendation for improvement than the people doing the frontline work? People usually don’t bring bad ideas to the
table. Granted, some input may not be
completely thought out, but in a team environment, the basic idea can be
quickly improved upon and continuous change made.
A well-trained Leadership team
and a talented staff will be able to provide more meaningful input and higher
quality solutions than an individual.
Add commitment to the success formula, the leaders, staff and team
members then becomes a powerful agent of quantum change, innovation, and in
some cases, the revolutionary invention of a product, service or process which
are the ingredients needed for success.
